This is what he’s talking about when he says he’s cut taxes:
#Trump Has Allowed #Corporations to Skirt at Least $40 Billion in #Taxes
#TaxHavens became more appealing after Trump signed an order over a year ago to withdraw the #US from an international effort to end such schemes.

#SCOTUS went on a full blown #murder spree today
That is what happened
That is the current state of the state
Smoke ‘em if you’ve got ‘em
#TheNewColossus
Short version—
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

For the young'uns who don't know, the #CircleJerks are an #oldSchool #hardcore #punk #band
And here we see the Circle Jerks confronting a fan suffering from the well known #MAGA cringe of going "I wish my favorite band would stay away from #politics" (like #RATM 😂)
🤪
Hilariously unaware their favorite band never changed, the MAGA #chud simply became a zombie #bigot

TAKE NOTE #DEMOCRATS
because of Trump, #México just amended their constitution to annul #elections decided by foreign intervention.
WHY?
#MAGA #Trump are using #drugs to revive the Monroe Doctrine. that’s why they kidnapped #Venezuela’s Maduro. the judicial excuse was drug trafficking, not oil.
it’s why DoJ issued a warrant for the GOVERNOR of Sinaloa: to invade México.
and, that’s what Bolsonaro’s son asked Trump to do in #Brasil: to give Lula the drugs treatment.

The order from US District Judge Leonie Brinkema says the admin cannot take any action “pursuant to the creation or operation of the Anti-Weaponization Fund, which includes the transferring of money to the Fund; the consideration of any claims submitted to the Fund; & the disbursing of any funds from the Fund.”

Judge Orders #Trump Name Off #KennedyCenter, & He Throws A Tantrum
Judge Christopher R. Cooper, of the Federal District Court in Washington, determined that the board’s decision to add Trump’s name to the #KennedyCenter violated a #law passed by #Congress in 1964 that made “crystal clear” the institution was to be named for former President #JohnFKennedy.
“Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, & only Congress can change it,” the judge wrote in a 94-page opinion.

The #KennedyCenter Enters the Unknown
It may or may not close. #Trump says he’ll abandon it. And the fight isn’t over.
For months, the dwindling ranks of staffers at the Kennedy Center have been bracing for July, when the Washington, DC, #arts complex had been slated to shut down. How the bruised institution would bounce back after a 2-year closure ordered by the president of the United States—& what it would look like once it did—were major questions.
“Hello?” a voice said on the other end of the line. This time, the president had picked up.
“I’m writing a story about a big supporter of yours in the oil industry, Jeff Hildebrand,” I said. “Can I ask what you think about him?”

#CDC chief blocked a #covid #vaccine study. Now it’s in a top medical journal.
The study, which had been slated for publication in March in the CDC’s Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report, found that the #covid19 vaccine reduced the risk of ER visits & hospitalizations among healthy adults by about half last winter. [And]…the vaccine can help reduce the risk of severe illness in adults even after accounting for immunity from prior #vaccination or infection.

Subpoenas for reporters to appear before a grand jury are exceedingly rare. The #journalists have not testified.
The Justice Department took the extraordinary step of seeking to force reporters for The Washington Post & the Wall Street Journal to testify before a federal grand jury — but withdrew the subpoenas after they were challenged by the news organizations….

The Pentagon has told senators it needs roughly $80 billion, mostly to cover the cost of the #US war against #Iran, adding to what is already a sizable #military spending boost being sought by #Trump.
The White House #OMB has yet to make a formal request to Congress. But #Defense Secy Pete #Hegseth has been making the rounds on Capitol Hill, including Monday evening.

The case, filed in the Southern District of New York on Wednesday, is the latest effort to challenge what many experts have described as the Trump admin’s efforts to undermine #InternationalLaw.
